The van ploughed into the crowd just after midnight as they had finished prayers.

The man, who was described as being white and clean shaven with curly hair was heard shouting: ‘I’m going to kill all Muslims’.

The horrific attack has left one person dead and at least 10 injured.

Within seconds of the attack taking place bystanders pinned the man, who was wearing a dark t-shirt, to the ground before dragging him away along the ground.

A witness told Sky News: ‘He hit almost a wall and fences at the end of the road because it was a dead road. So people grabbed him outside and starting hitting him,’ he added.

‘Our imam went there and saved the life of the attacker. There is a wild video which you can see filmed by one of our worshippers and you can see clearly our imam saving the life of this guy and the guy at this time was saying “I did my bit”.

Bystanders rushed to give victims CPR and to treat head injuries with makeshift bandages.
